Azure is perhaps the most popular cloud computing platform around. It’s versatile, flexible, and powerful all at the same time. More than 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft Azure to meet their cloud computing needs.
This particular certification is a role-based certification and is applicable only to Azure environments. As an Azure Administrator, you’ll be implementing, managing, and monitoring Azure environments. Within the Azure cloud environment, you’ll handle everything, including storage, identity, governance, and virtual networks.
To be a successful Azure Administrator, you’ll need to be able to set up cloud systems, deploy and balance workloads, work with UNIX, Linux, Windows, and other operating systems.
There are no set prerequisites to take this exam. However, you will need knowledge and experience in the following areas:
You’ll need to learn new information and pass the official exam. It’s not easy, so here are some tips for getting this valuable certification under your belt.
Everything you do as an Azure Administrator will rely on your database, server, and networking skills. If there are any areas you feel weak about, inexperienced, or you just want to master, start fine-tuning those skills.
As a general guideline, you should be able to:
These are just some of the skills you’ll need to know as a foundation for passing the Azure Administrator exam.
You’ll need to know at least one programming language to work as an Azure Administrator. Whether you know PHP, Java, C++, Ruby, Python, or any other language, start honing your skills.
Close the gaps in areas where your knowledge is a bit weaker. Learn new things in your preferred language. All the problem-solving skills you learn will be applicable at some point during your career as an Azure Administrator.
When running applications in Azure, you aren’t in control of the servers or its resources that run the applications. For instance, when a problem with the server is detected, Azure will move your application to another server, which means you won’t really know where your applications are running.
When you don’t know where your applications are running, it’s a bad idea to use local memory, registry, and file systems for storage and caching. If your application gets moved to another server, you won’t be able to access your files. This is where external services come in handy.
To avoid this issue, you’ll want to embrace caching. Start getting familiar with Azure Storage and Azure Redis Cache to ensure your data remains available no matter what.
If you haven’t already developed a lean mindset when it comes to cloud resources, it’s time to start. In a cloud environment, you generally pay for what you use, but there are also some services that will run all day, whether you use them or not.
Start developing a lean mindset where you can distinguish what’s needed and what isn’t. Consider the cost of applications and be mindful of CPU cycles, bandwidth, and memory usage.
For example, say you’re migrating an on-premises SQL database to an Azure SQL database. You get all your connection strings set up with your new database and now it’s time to move your on-premises applications to the cloud. To your horror, you discover that one of your most important on-premises applications copies the whole database to memory in order to crunch data every single hour.
When working in Azure, you’re going to pay for egress data (outgoing data), and this will certainly use up more bandwidth than you want. If you don’t create a solution, the company you’re working for will get a huge bill at the end of the month.
